We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. 2 Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review 3 An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions there should be, where their boundaries are and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why Dover? 4 We are conducting a review of Dover at the request of Dover District Council. Our proposals for Dover Dover should be represented by 32 councillors, 13 fewer than there are now. Dover should have 18 wards, three fewer than there are now. The boundaries of 16 wards should change, two will stay the same. Have your say 5 We are consulting on our draft recommendations for a 10-week period, from 5 June 2018 to 13 August 2018. We encourage everyone to use this opportunity to contribute to the design of the new wards – the more public views we hear, the more informed our decisions will be when analysing all the views we receive. 6 We ask everyone wishing to contribute ideas for the new wards to first read this report and look at the accompanying map before responding to us. You have until 13 August 2018 to have your say on the draft recommendations. See page 37 for how to send us your response. 1 What is the Local Government Boundary Commission for England? 7 The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament.1 8 The members of the Commission are: Professor Colin Mellors OBE (Chair) Susan Johnson OBE Peter Maddison QPM Steve Robinson Andrew Scallan CBE Chief Executive: Jolyon Jackson CBE 1 Under the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009. 2 1 Introduction 9 This electoral review is being carried out to ensure that: The wards in Dover are in the best possible places to help the Council carry out its responsibilities effectively. The number of voters represented by each councillor is approximately the same across the district. What is an electoral review? 10 Our three main considerations are to: Improve electoral equality by equalising the number of electors each councillor represents Reflect community identity Provide for effective and convenient local government 11 Our task is to strike the best balance between them when making our recommendations. Our powers, as well as the guidance we have provided for electoral reviews and further information on the review process, can be found on our website at www.lgbce.org.uk Consultation 12 We wrote to the Council to ask its views on the appropriate number of councillors for Dover. We then held a period of consultation on warding patterns for the district. The submissions received during consultation have informed our draft recommendations. 13 This review is being conducted as follows: Stage starts Description 23 January 2018 Number of councillors decided 30 January 2018 Start of consultation seeking views on new wards 9 April 2018 End of consultation; we begin analysing submissions and forming draft recommendations 5 June 2018 Publication of draft recommendations, start of second consultation 13 August 2018 End of consultation; we begin analysing submissions and forming final recommendations 2 October 2018 Publication of final recommendations 3 How will the recommendations affect you? 14 The recommendations will determine how many councillors will serve on the Council. They will also decide which ward you vote in, which other communities are in that ward, and, in some cases, which parish council ward you vote in. Your ward name may also change. 4 2 Analysis and draft recommendations 15 Legislation2 states that our recommendations should not be based only on how many electors3 there are now, but also on how many there are likely to be in the five years after the publication of our final recommendations. We must also try to recommend strong, clearly identifiable boundaries for our wards. 16 In reality, we are unlikely to be able to create wards with exactly the same number of electors in each; we have to be flexible. However, we try to keep the number of electors represented by each councillor as close to the average for the council as possible. 17 We work out the average number

The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, in the vicinity of cropmarks possibly dating to the later prehistoric or Roman periods. Other significant archaeological remains are also located in the surrounding landscape. The engineering works comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for a penstock, and the re-profiling of a length of drainage ditch. No archaeological features, deposits or artefact were revealed during the engineering works. Deep excavations were only carried out for the penstock foundation trench where only geological deposits were encountered. Any potential remains present in the vicinity of the drainage ditch were unlikely to be revealed due to the limited nature of the works in that area.

  • A History of Ash and Its Churches
    A History of Ash and its Churches The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold. In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'. It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.
